The first m persons to pick each get a phone belonging to the last m persons to pick? Hint: Try this thought experiment with a few choices of mand n to get a feel for the numbers that show up.)

Answer:

1, \frac{m}{n}, \frac{1-m}{n}.

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = \frac{Number of Possible Outcomes}{Total Outcomes}

Total number of persons in the party = n

a) Pr ( every person gets their phone back) = Pr (each person picks his phone ) multiplied by number of person

   = \frac{1}{n} × n = 1.

     No of first m persons to pick = m

     No of last m persons to pick = 1 - m

b) Pr (first m persons to pick each gets their phones back) = \frac{m}{n}

c) Pr( first m persons get a phone belonging to last m persons) = \frac{1-m}{n}
